Fasco D798 Motor

Fasco D798 Motor

The Fasco D798 Motor is a high-performance 1/6 HP condenser fan motor engineered for heavy-duty HVACR applications. Operating at 825 RPM, this 208-230V permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor is an ideal replacement for underperforming outdoor units requiring a 5.6-inch diameter (48Y frame) footprint. Built with a totally enclosed air over (TEAO) enclosure and sleeve bearings, it ensures reliable operation in demanding environments. The motor features electrically reversible rotation and is technically rated for 60°C ambient temperatures, making it a robust choice for technicians servicing residential and light commercial A/C systems.

Designed for versatile installation, the Fasco D798 includes a 1/2" x 6" shaft and four drilled/tapped holes in the shell. It effectively cross-references with common industry parts like the GE 3403, Century FE1018SF, and Packard 60825. When performing a swap, professionals should verify it is paired with a 5 MFD / 370V capacitor to maintain proper torque and efficiency. This HVAC replacement motor provides the high-torque, single-speed performance needed to restore optimal airflow through the condenser coil.

Key Benefits
  • Broad Compatibility: Direct drop-in replacement for GE, Century, and Emerson 825 RPM condenser motors.
  • Thermal Protection: Features internal automatic overload protection to prevent winding failure during high-head pressure events.
  • All-Angle Mounting: Equipped with all-angle sleeve bearings, allowing for shaft-up, shaft-down, or horizontal orientation.
  • Weather Resistant: The TEAO enclosure protects internal components from rain and debris in outdoor installations.
  • Field Flexibility: Reversible rotation allows you to match the original fan blade pitch without carrying multiple SKUs.
Common Questions

What capacitor does the Fasco D798 require?
This motor is designed to operate with a 5 MFD 370V run capacitor. Reusing an old capacitor is not recommended, as a weakened cap can lead to motor overheating or failure to start under load.

Can I use this motor to replace a 1075 RPM motor?
No. You must match the nameplate RPM. Installing an 825 RPM motor where a 1075 RPM motor is required will lead to insufficient airflow and potential compressor damage due to lack of cooling.

How do I reverse the rotation on this motor?
The D798 is electrically reversible. Simply swap the two sets of color-coded leads as indicated on the wiring diagram located on the motor shell to change from CCW to CW rotation.
